I've been tuning in every once in awhile on Speed they had a ton of action all in the first few hours like 3 or 4 cars all had major damage and all between 3-5 miles from pit and had to limp back extremely slow. sadly at the moment they are showing Arca racing. for the next 20 min.

erm im watching, its fukin almost 5oclock in hte morning and i got up @ 8am yesterday...still its worth it, i love le mans, and its definately an interesting race this year, lotsa trouble for just about evry1. Racing for Holland is having alot of bad luck but it keeps fighting...Also the Corvettes have had some bad luck too, with a bit of luck the Ferraris will stay ahead of em/take em over.
I'm hoping for some bad luck for the Audi's, cos i dont like em and it makes the race more exciting

well there are a few Ferrari's sitting in the garages right now so that doesn't seem to be helping and they just had to change one of the Audi cars out no too long ago.

yeah and now they are having a hell of a time fixing it and it's not the first Ferrari that's haad brake trouble so far and only half way, it doesn't look too hopeful at the moment for a few of their cars. Porsche seems to be doing fairly well at the moment.

lol u wanna bet Porsche is gonna win the GT class? ill bet for $1000 it does
And yes you're right, we've just had 13 of 24 hours, so plenty of time for accidents to happen, and rankings to get mixed up

On Radio Lemans they just said that Audi might have a Diesel engine in their cars for next year! :shock: and there is talk about a DB9 and Mazda coming back. I'm not stupid enough to take that bet.
